i'm a survivor from that ordeal. basically buried alive as if in the middle. we managed to get. there was my ten year old daughter i couldn't risk you here she swallowed too much water when it was pulled realized my child was absent with no way to look for survivors there were a lot of children on board even more than my only came running to me and my husband two or three minutes before the ship sank and told us please. as a vessel a cynic and i couldn't believe it. you think. everyone trying to learn anything to deal ones would call the police but they said to conduct the search and rescue service we did but there was no reply so we game here to find out at least something we didn't hear nobody knows anything. it's to the right side and. there.

were bodies wife and grandchildren to. even go to stop and reach out and. it's horrible having the slightest knowledge of what's going on they should give us at least some information that's going to search and rescue service by they don't answer the phone. rescuers are now desperately trying to find any other people who may have survived from the ship there are a variety of small islands scattered about in the foreground where the stepson and it's over some people might have made it to safety after three other search and rescue teams are going to try and piece together what happened thirty for the staff wife. and both survivors have been found are being taken to hospital and are undergoing psychological treatment for any trauma that i have experienced. all right thank you tom that's tom barton reporting from cazan which was to be the

final destination of the ship which has sunk on the volga now for more details on the search operation and the latest from the russian emergencies ministry we can go live to our correspondent jacob greaves who is in moscow. now jacob we hear that this cruise ship has safely worked this route for years now is there any information on why tragedy should strike at this point. or officials are actually still looking for asses here a number of theories have already been put forward stress none of them of really being a firm just yet a prominent one is the fact that this seems to have been overloaded official capacity was one hundred forty people. confirmed one hundred eighty five people were on board of the time of its sinking also the age of this vessel was fifty five years old and there are questions being raised to whether or not it should have been used as

a tourist boat on the revolver in the in the first place some is being stunned by reports of claims made by a crew member saying that had engine difficulties just before making this two day voyage to because although we have to bear in mind it's important to stress that the mission of transport base in moscow did actually carry out tests on the special say it was ok to be operating as as recently as the fifteenth of june now everest of course it's their attention really focusing on finding more survivors and searching out for those missing well we've already spoken to a local reporter describe the situation they would have met those who launched into the water. the rescue mission is underway and will continue throughout the night. to which people may have been able to swing too far from where the baldwin down currents are making this search mission increasingly difficult because people may have been swept several kilometers away with them started. to have gone along the

howl of the vessel you know to see if there are any people trapped inside divers are now entering the crews are using a boat at the scene is using the waves are one and a half meters high well we are currently able to do is to communicate with the divers i read. or saw it from the distance the passage of have to swim to get to shore and of course the currents and other problems with to do with the weather is also the fire. this ship sank very quickly indeed in under three minutes giving people really no time to put on life vests. in the correct areas to get on the lifeboats and this is something you've heard from survivors who are on board and they've they reported same of the not too sure they don't really think that the crew members or any of those on board in charge actually did enough to stop this boat going down in such a quick time now those at the scene with those divers at the scene who found the best soap on the bottom of the riverbed and they say it's actually been tipped to

the rice and that may offer some clues in the future is to find out why this boat did sink the president medvedev and he's already said that there will need to be a full on proper investigation launched into to find out more rancid on this case but we can already try to fill in some blanks why speaking to one representative for a company that was a price on the search by picking up survivors at the same. wreckage that all sank in about two minutes the crew will require a ton of the writers want to come in through the windows to attach a case on the boat when john came across we were sitting there and i asked where the crews are stand we don't find any survivors there was only van auken at the scene and like to say that al ras hands are altered and should have been properly trained. now the rescue effort is still really in full swing

because there are many people missing now this is focusing along the volga river but also on those are islands nearby as well and this is something as we mentioned by the emergencies minister. long as your main goal is to survey the shuras designed them into sectors and it's limited to a reasonable sort of or even eighty or. the islands and i see a sign read through with conclusion listeners and his were found there if you think you'll get it all in is really didn't. to continue the search generation on your binoculars and. so emphasizing there this really puts a lot of hope of finding more survivors and these islands located near the volga river that goes on there still hoping they can find more survivors before this and . parties object of groups reporting there thank you for keeping us up to date of course will come back as more information becomes available. egypt's prime minister is of value to sack any member of the security forces accused of killing protesters

during the uprising that toppled former president hosni mubarak the statement comes after thousands of egyptians turned out for the biggest rally in months angered over the slow pace of prosecuting officials and reforms but people say they will keep fighting until they see change parties and he said now is at the scene. egypt's uprising might have ousted president mubarak but to them he's far from gone thousands of people out here on top here they all see different visions of egypt but they join together because the people we've spoken to feel like their revolution has been stolen we go through the books of the mubarak's the ship is to life and when the taste of freedom was short lived the military is in full power mass media is being choked and oppression still rampant and worse than i think they werent catching activists as much as they are doing now and take them to a prison i guess now they're being treated violent they want to kill with evolution

they still live in the first place he's known simply as uncle hostile here in egypt a social network or with a twitter army of some thirty thousand followers the military throws of civilians have to stop immediately immediately this is you know one of the major demands we're putting forward one of many demands including transparent trials for the fallen regime and the purging of corrupt officials they got rid of mubarak you know their high ranking officials but now egypt with the same way it was before january superball that little officials a little mubarak so mean remarks rather than what they're calling them are running the country people like myself have been arguing for taking the high you to the factories taking the higher you to the universities taking the have to the wood places meaning that in every single word police we have an egypt that is amenable now when it was never interested in politics in till january she was shot with

twenty three pellets by riot police twenty of which are still in her like the pain is finally gone but her perseverance is not the barrier of fear is gone. and she will continue to fight to the end i was. every every gyptian citizen to be treated as a human being every protester has their own vision of the egypt they're fighting for some want to constitution and then free elections others think the new law should follow the vote one thing that brings them all together is that this egypt is not ts. and he's no way archie. georgia has charged three photo journalists including the personal photographer of president saakashvili with spying for russia tbilisi says it possesses a video confessions proving their guilt in the first to have the finger of suspicion pointed at them so last year thirteen people were detained and accused of

being spies on russia's payroll and sentenced to fourteen years behind bars commenting on the recent events georgia's opposition leader. told r.t. the evidence could have been obtained under pressure from the southern us it's not the type of case one person on the right has is giving such kind of explanation a specially we had to take into account that he was not the only himself but his wife too and they have a very small child why i have been released now for three. weeks the photographer mentioned the purpose by just before me to say one hundred percent what is behind all sides but secretions i think george it's time to time with everything that can build these condos have no real legal outcomes and we never saw any kind of real human patients that government you think right now government to i read journalists to verify symbolically because government we are trying to control everybody and

everything until now we didn't just need to even one that we didn't. know what some of the existing refused to really see when you have a kind of big government in sight when you have problems with social and health care when you have a problem. elementary a rule of law and the rights of the people when you lost your country twenty percent of thirty thirty because they go on a good question but it is responsible lection you should find somebody who will be guilty in everything which is wrong in the country big very old police school picnic and this is just quite easy to explain just russian size and unique and everything would be wrong to the country reason russian so suckers really creating things i cannot pay me and trying to delete everybody who is they gave quemoy gave his regime and which spiking for deal democracy in this country he is trying to link was russian. and coming up in the program just before the anniversary of

europe's most massacre since the nazi era r.t. travels to chevron meter where people are still in search of justice. rebels in libya are battling past government forces on the road to tripoli they are now moving towards the key town of tarn after a six week long impasse but the capital still remains over one hundred fifty kilometers away rebels say their progress has been slow due to a lack of ammunition and nato's support there have been suggestions that the alliance is running low on arms itself and has asked germany for munitions. reports on berlin that surprise turn after opposing the mission from the onset. for more bombs wanted just over one hundred days of airstrikes and with just over two thousand bombs dropped by nato allies on libya the mission has run into an unexpected problem a lack of sales to drop where there is demand there is supply and this case germany

has agreed to provide the much needed ammunition previously berlin has abstained from voting in favor of the u.n. security council resolution on libya and move that surprised some and angered others but it may now be backing out of a decision the germans may not want to participate but they have decided that position does not preclude them actually subserve lying weapons in this case or systems some believe germany is under pressure from other nato members particularly the united states friends in the u.k. to take a more active part in the libyan campaign at first hand our you know ministries toward the foreign affairs minister don't go into libya it's a very bad conflict it was started by the cia and it's a dirty business don't go there so this is why you voted with russia and china now the backlash from washington is so tough that obviously we are under pressure to do . thing to make up for this decision aside from peer pressure germany may be

alerted to the possible financial benefits of making its weapons available for nato in libya probably germany it will get paid for delivering. to other counts but that is normal practice between countries even between nato countries. all of the twenty eight nato members only eight are actively participating in libya with civilian deaths to which nato recently admitted to a shortage of weapons and the ever relentless more mark of duffy still at the helm the coalition may be facing just the beginning of its problems. berlin is in a tough spot on the one hand it has disappointed nato by refusing to support the mission only being march on the other by agreeing to supply bombs it may now lose friends in other high places and whatever the real reasons for its contradictory policy may be germany could find that by trying to please everyone it may end up

pleasing no one in a ghost. political blogger rick ross also believes a humanitarian mission wasn't never high on nato's agenda in the region. thirteen thousand nato air missions over a country of six and a half million people including with nato itself with knowledge of those five thousand combat missions if it's not a war. you know this is not simply a question of the are protecting libyan civilians from being over the government violence and so forth this is a concerted long term military action nato it's the world's only military or it's one that is in charge of the two major wars in the world right now those in afghanistan and in libya i think you know we can just feel you know minor points of contention but i think we should not be confused about what the nature of the mirthful are in the treaty organization. and update now on our main story the tragedy in central russia after a pleasure cruiser sank with one hundred eighty five on board the river volga in

a town are stunned three people are now known to have died and more than one hundred people are still unaccounted for search and rescue efforts have continued throughout the night and into the morning the vessel called the bulgaria reportedly sank within three minutes of getting into difficulty and was three kilometers from the shore when it went down it's thought to have been carrying people on a weekend a sightseeing break some survivors were picked up and to have been taken to prison for treatment i wouldn't says say a storm is likely to be to blame for the sinking while others suggest a failure of the boats engines although that has not been confirmed. onto other news now britain's scandal plagued news of the world newspaper has rolled off the presses for the last time its final edition was apologetic but defiant after being hastily closed by rupert murdoch this week the embattled a media mogul flew to london to take charge of the crisis which engulfed in the paper and its parent company news international it's claimed journalists hacked the

phones of murder victims and dead soldiers families police made a number of arrests on friday putting a former editor of the paper who has also served as the prime minister's press chief media. still release says rupert murdoch has now lost his long standing in unity among britain's political elite. i think something changed this week you know for decades british prime ministers have been on the needs to the to the murdoch press because they knew that when the sun which is his main daily newspaper here in britain when the sun supported a british politician running for prime ministership you know they won it and then you'd find in the next day you'd find that prime minister reading the sun looking like an idiot saying well the sun got me elected i mean so you've got this demeaning of british democracy is that ministering of democracy really which the murdoch press was at but part of it but i think it was after a silence as well because important people needed the murdoch press and they couldn't be they couldn't attack it because of that and i think

a line was crossed rupert murdoch has a very finely tuned business brain he has a lot of things going on now one of them is to purchase the largest satellite network in britain called the sky b. and that decision is about to be approved by the government that was in jeopardy i think he felt that as a businessman he had to sacrifice the news of the world because it in terms of the whole news international it's a tiny part of or about the political caste who'd been sucking up to rupert murdoch for so many years including prime minister david cameron he now has to stand back and say no i can't do it anymore it's going to bad. the former bosnian serb a general accused of ordering of the chevron needs a massacre is likely to have a new legal team to represent him at the hague. angrily disrupted his second hearing the berating judges for not allowing him to have his lawyers present but many serbs feel the notorious and generals the trial will not bring full justice

a tri cities visited and all sides and perpetrated by all players the diversion most often propagated by western media is rather one sided in bringing the serves the purpose of that is to set the stage and create a rationale for so-called humanitarian interventions which in the occurred so that a whole number of them out of stock in it so that simple precedent can be traced through the years and into today's headlines bosnia iraq afghanistan and most recently libya have all played unwilling hosts to nato troops and u.s. imposed no fly zones it is very important and the creation of that. scenario to make sure that in the minds of most people. it was a draw on the saudi which was preventable but for whatever reasons the so-called
